About

Overview & Vibe

Rick Shores sits at sand level beneath Burleigh’s Goodwin Terrace — a hatted Southeast Asian restaurant where waves genuinely break beneath the windows and the Surfers skyline glitters up the beach. For weddings, the whole room becomes yours.

Setting & Style

Exclusive hire turns one of Queensland’s most-awarded dining rooms into an ocean-front reception for 41 to 150 guests — sunset champagne toasts against the surf, the kitchen’s mouth-watering pan-Asian menus running family-style down the tables, and cocktails from a bar that made the venue famous. Wedding photographs come with an unrivalled backdrop: the Pacific, metres away.

Ideal For

Food-obsessed couples wanting a hatted-restaurant wedding on the actual beach — intimate, delicious and unmistakably Burleigh.

  • Exclusive functions for 41–150 guests; the venue hosts events up to 150 people.
  • Hatted restaurant kitchen with pan-Asian menus and an acclaimed cocktail program.
  • Direct beachfront position under Burleigh headland — waves beneath the windows.
  • 3/43 Goodwin Terrace, Burleigh Heads.
